We had a wonderful time visiting the greater La Quinta area. It was our first time, so we didn't quite know what to expect. The home is situated in a cute community, and nearly backs against the majestic mountain range. Given there was a group of us, we were fortunate for the garage access, as we had two cars. While the community felt safe, I hoped for a deadbolt or latch to secure the home, especially since the front yard hold the swimming pool, and I had concerns about our little ones finding their way outside at night. The home itself is well kept, and everything felt clean. The beds were a little squeaky, but we got used to it quickly. Additional details about the house that I'll nitpick: one of the barstools along the kitchen island was broken, and part of the couch in the living room was caved in by a previous user. Neither of these things bothered us, but worth addressing by the owner. Lastly, we could not get the pool heater to work using the iPad that was provided. When I contacted the host, they were quick to respond, but noted that folks usually request the pool to be heated in advance -- I was not aware of that, so we ultimately did not use the pool at all. In total, the home was as-listed and a quality stay. Very grateful for the opportunity to be welcomed!
